Allowing users to modify records they submit to a db

[Guest]

I want users to be able to enter information into a db and also be able to
return to manipulate that data, but only the data they submitted. I'm not
very familiar with db's so any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.

The site is a non profit organization with the intentions of getting
evacuee's of Hurricane Katrina into homes of volunteers. View it here to get
a better idea of what I'm looking for: www.lendinghand.org

Thanks.

I would suggest that Microsoft Access is not ideal for a web-based,
secure database application such as this. It's a good database for
desktop or small network use, but I fear it's not sufficiently robust
nor sufficiently secure for what you're trying to do! You should look
into using SQL/Server or MySQL with a carefully programmed VBScript
frontend; you'll need to get user passwords at the very least.
